Pulsatile Flow in Computational Modelling of Thrombosis in Cerebral Aneurysms by Hume, Struan

“…The output of this simulation is compared to the output of an otherwise identical simulation utilizing Particle-Image-Velocimetry (PIV) validated steady flow conditions, to determine whether clotting outcome of Ngoepe and Ventikos’s model, amongst others, differs with pulsatile flow This experiment revealed that the concentration of thrombin required for clotting activation is generated in nearly half the time when utilizing pulsatile flow over steady flow. …”
